What is Paintball?
Paintball is a sport in which participants eliminate opponents from play by hitting them with liquid-filled, breakable, gelatin paintballs shot from a compressed-gas-powered "paintball marker".
Paintball draws a wide array of players, and the Sporting Goods Manufacturer's Association estimates that 5 million people play in the United States annually, with 1.9 million playing at least 15 times a year. Insurance statistics show that paintball is one of the safest sports, with fewer injuries per exposure than sports like tennis, golf, and bowling.
Games can be played either indoors or outdoors and take various forms, of which some of the most popular are woodsball, scenario and speedball. Rules for playing paintball vary widely, with most designed to ensure that participants enjoy the sport in a safe environment. The sport requires a significant amount of equipment.
A game of paintball usually involves two opposing teams seeking to eliminate all of the other team's players or to complete some other objective, such as retrieving a flag, eliminating a specific player, or other paintball variations. Depending on the style of paintball played, a paintball game can last from seconds to days, although typical woodsball games are five to thirty minutes long.
What Paintball gear do you need?
The first piece of paintball gear any player will need is a marker or gun. The type of game that will be played will most likely determine the weapon chosen.
Depending on what type of game you play will most likely determine the weapon you choose, such as if you're a wood ball player you might be more inclined go with a Tippman these markers are known for their durability and reliability.
Those that plan to play mostly on air ball or speedball fields will need a marker that fires at least 15 balls a second. Any number of guns fit this description. Examples include the Ego made by Planet Eclipse, a Dmc or a Dm6 made by Dye perhaps even a Karnivor made by Worrgames. Some of these guns are what might be considered by some to be "top of the line."
All of the markers mentioned above do carry a hefty price tag, but there are alternatives, including the Ion by Smart Parts. This gun costs about half the price of the others and can hold its own when used by a good player.
After a marker is chosen, the next piece of paintball gear that will be needed is a mask. There are all kinds of makes to choose from. They come in all sorts of colors and some even have tinted, or colored, lenses. But as cool as some may look, always remember that a mask's number one just is to protect the face and especially the eyes. Safety is the first concern of this type of paintball gear.
To buy a mask correctly, it is important to make sure it fits securely. It doesn't matter what it looks like, don’t forget that! If a mask doesn't fit right, it is not the right piece of gear.
Other paintball gear some players purchase includes optional safety equipment. If the sting of being hit by a ball is too much, there are hard plastic pieces of body armor that can help protected the back, chest, arms and legs. These aren't required to play, but many players use them.
Beyond safety and the gun, another piece of paintball gear that is a must-have is a device for actually carrying the balls. Most players purchase a special carrying belt that holds tubes that can be filled with paintballs. The tubes generally hold 200 paint balls each. Style of play will determine how many balls need to be carried.
Clothing is also something to think about. What might be needed will depend on several factors, including the climate a game is taking place in and personal choice. The clothing designed for play can be very effective, but it is important for players to wear whatever makes them the most comfortable.
Aside from the marker and balls, the most important purchases on the paintball gear market fall in the safety category. Remember, safety and comfort are far more important on the field of play than looks.
